Good evening families,

This week, our Kindergarten and 1st grade students will be taking their ATLAS summative tests. Please make sure your child comes to school every day and on time!

The building opens at 7:05 for breakfast. Testing will begin at 8:00. If your child arrives after 8:00, they will not be allowed in their classroom until testing ends and they will have to take a make-up test at a later time in the day.

Please help your child be ready each day by making sure they get plenty of sleep, limiting time on technology, eating a healthy breakfast, and getting them to school early.

Thank you for your support and partnership in our students’ success.
